Brandeis combines the resources of a world-class research university with the personal attention of a liberal arts setting. The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences offers 17 doctoral programs and more than 40 master's and postbaccalaureate programs.

One of the key differences at the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences is our emphasis on interdisciplinary learning. You will learn the importance of connecting with people who have a broad range of expertise and experience.

Travel Funds Request

The graduate school reimburses doctoral students in the humanities, social sciences, and creative arts up to $500 per academic year so that they may present papers or serve on panels at conferences or workshops. Students covered by a grant may not be eligible for travel funds if the grant covers these expenses. Please see the form below for additional eligibility requirements and to request funding.

This form must be completed and approved before you take your trip. If you apply for conference funding after you have completed your trip, you will be added to a “wait list” and we will contact you at the end of the academic year (late May) if we have remaining funding for your trip.

GSAS is unable to provide assistance for attendance at workshops, unless you are officially presenting at or leading the workshop. A copy of or link to the program with your name in it must be included with your request form. Acceptance emails will not be approved in these situations.

Brandeis University's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS) is one of four graduate schools on campus and is situated within an exciting, multifaceted research university for scholarship, teaching and learning, just outside the educational hub of Boston.
